When to get in car and smelled gas, looked down and gas was running out from the bottom of car, fire and police dept. Were called, car was towed to dealership received called about 4 hrs later from service dept. Stated that I had ran over bump and punctured gas line, and its going to cost $1016 to replace I then informed them that car had been parked then his theory was maybe someone got up under my car and punctured gas line I stated know one would be able to do that, the problem has to be with the gas line maybe defective or some other problem. Called Chrysler spoke with representative (M31) and she informed me that whatever the dealer stated is what had to have happened im filing this complaint, because what service dept. Is stated the problem to my car couldn't be the problem has to be with the manufacture. Car is still at dealership part is being ordered, asked for loaner one was never provided.

There was a complaint filed on this vehicle ODI 10125270 concerning the air bag light coming on and staying on. The dealership found out it was the clock spring, and they have replaced it 3 times, but it kept failing. Currently, the vehicle is at the dealer, the dealer stated that there was inferior wires used on the wire harness. Dealer was to replace entire wire harness under dash board. There was going to be a week or two delay in getting the parts. Then there was concern that if there was inferior insulation involved with the wire harness this could cause severe problems such as a fire. The vehicle could not be filled through the fuel pipe to the gasoline tank and the fuel gauge was stuck on full. Upon examination by the dealer, it was found the vehicle would not take any gas. The dealer decided that the vehicle needed a kit to be placed on top of the fuel tank.
